Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Leaks around fittings and joints may allow air to enter the brake system.
Air entering the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Do not attempt to maintain brake fluid pressure by securing the brake lever to the
handlebar or the brake pedal using a band or strap.
Banding or strapping the brake lever or pedal may deform the piston seals in the
caliper.
Lever or pedal travel that is increased or reduced may a cause a reduction in braking
efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork.
Close the brake reservoir and wash any spilled brake fluid immediately with warm
soapy water.
Spilled brake fluid, if left, will damage painted and plastic surfaces.
Pressure applied to the brake lever or caliper pistons during the bleeding process must
be applied and removed smoothly and slowly.
It must take a minimum of five seconds between lever positions (from fully released to
stop).
Failure to follow these instructions can allow air to be drawn in to the system through
the bleed screw threads.
